When considering MM2H or PVIP, it is important to understand in advance what happens after applying, when payments are due and which procedures take place in Malaysia.
KL Fudousan helps you follow the full process, from initial consultation and coordination with our partners through application preparation, payments and final procedures in Malaysia. This page explains the MM2H and PVIP process from application to pass issuance, including key payment stages.
Programme rules, required documents, fees and payment schedules may change. When you apply, KL Fudousan and our partners will guide you based on the latest confirmed requirements.
From MM2H and PVIP application to issuance
From the applicant’s perspective, the basic process is Consult KL Fudousan → Prepare documents → Submit the formal application → Assessment and conditional approval → Complete procedures in Malaysia → Pass issuance. Payments are required at several stages, and the documents and procedures vary with the application.

Processing times depend on the application, any additional checks, timing and the assessment workload. Approval within a fixed period is not guaranteed.
It can, of course, take longer. If you have plans involving relocation, property purchase, school or work, allow a buffer in your application schedule rather than assuming approval is guaranteed within three months.
KL Fudousan checks each stage, from application to payment

MM2H and PVIP applications require several documents, including certificates obtained in Japan. If your spouse or children accompany you, family documents are also needed.

It is important to establish the full document requirements for both the main applicant and accompanying family members at the outset.
Once the documents are gathered, we check their contents and completeness, arrange necessary translations and certifications, and proceed to the formal application.
When are MM2H and PVIP payments due?
Application costs are not all paid at once; payments arise as the process advances, including engagement, formal application and after conditional approval.
Amounts and breakdowns vary by programme, category, number of dependants and government charges at the time of application. KL Fudousan explains the payment stages alongside our partner’s quotation.

Main procedures in Malaysia after conditional approval
After conditional approval, final procedures take place in Malaysia in accordance with programme requirements. These mainly include opening a bank account, placing the fixed deposit, a medical examination, health insurance and procedures for pass issuance.
Not every applicant needs identical procedures. KL Fudousan checks your application and our partner’s guidance, then explains the required steps in order.
KL Fudousan local report
The visit to Malaysia after conditional approval involves several local procedures for pass issuance, including opening a bank account, placing the fixed deposit, a medical examination and insurance.
In past cases, the full sequence of local procedures has been completed in as little as about three weekdays. This does not mean completion within three days is guaranteed.
The time needed varies with bank checks, appointment availability, additional documents and Malaysian public holidays. Banking procedures in particular may not proceed as scheduled even when all documents are ready.
Unsure whether to apply for MM2H or PVIP?
The suitable programme depends on more than the application process: consider the fixed deposit, property purchase, minimum stay, work and business activities, family circumstances and financial plans. You can consult us before deciding.
